Jaipur, Jan 30 (NationPress) The Congress and BJP convened their respective legislature party meetings in preparation for the upcoming Assembly session on Thursday.
It is noteworthy that former Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje was not present at the BJP meeting, while key figures from Congress, including former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and Congress National General Secretary Sachin Pilot, also missed the Congress gathering.
Raje is currently participating in the Maha Kumbh, where she performed a puja with her family and bathed at the Triveni Sangam Ghat.
Meanwhile, Pilot is busy campaigning for the upcoming Delhi elections, and Gehlot is on a visit to Mumbai.
In the meantime, Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma organized a meeting of the Council of Ministers, urging them to prepare thoroughly for their responses in the Assembly. However, Minister Kirodi Lal Meena was absent, as he was in Sawai Madhopur conducting a public hearing at the Municipal Council.
Kirodi has requested permission to be absent from the House, which has sparked political speculation regarding his absence from the ministerial meeting.
He had previously submitted his resignation, yet it remains unaddressed by the government.
The BJP's legislature party meeting took place at the Chief Minister's Residence, where the Chief Minister encouraged MLAs to adopt a constructive attitude in the Assembly.
He highlighted the necessity of responding effectively if the opposition causes disturbances.
In a challenge to the Congress, the Chief Minister claimed that the government’s performance over the past year should be evaluated against the previous administration's three-year record, asserting that the BJP has outperformed in areas of employment and development.
Moreover, he reminded MLAs to honor party workers, likening them to lawyers who advocate for their leaders.
